My neighbor, my friend.

You are very, very lucky!!!! Money wont buy you good neighbors and until you have had the misfortune to suffer thru some of the bad ones it is hard to really appreciate just what having a good neighbor can mean.
Amen!
 
My father used to say "Lucky is he who goes through life having made one friend". In the French language there about twenty word for friend. It doesn't start of finish with "Ami".

Butch, I won't live long enough to get it to look like THAT!

That is a thing of beauty. What's the chambering? Set up for something 'vigorous'.

The vz I have on hand is a really nice starting point - no pitting or surface rust, decent surface finish, crisp markings and very little wear. I was thinking of durability - something that my buddy could have with him on his tractor and such and he's a big fan of the 6mm Rem. I can get that done without a whole lot of fuss and bother, but I cannot do ^^ that ^^!

It is one of my 458 Lotts. A 6 Remington ain't a bad cartridge.

Great story about salt of the earth people.There are still a good number of them in Texas.A neighbor like that works every day of his life to provide for the rest of us.Average dairy farmer earnings (2013 numbers ) about $ 22,000.Based on the senates own numbers ,we spend $61,000 per welfare recipient household.

He is truly Atlas who has not yet shrugged.
Get in contact with Denny.
We ain't all as salty as your neighbor, but there are a bunch of good guys to shoot with around you, and that is what it is all about.

Darrell, my friend loses money on the dairy operation, as many dairy farmers do. He sells seed as well and if it weren't for that he'd be the first to admit he's wasting his time.

As for our new environs, I had the good fortune of marrying a pretty girl from Texas (my bride's parent live about a half hour away) and my parents lived in the DFW area for 12 years or so in the 80s, so I'm not new to Texas. I love it here and it occurred to me many years ago that your average Texan is just about the most accommodating soul on God's patch. I will definitely get in touch with Denny and I will keep an eye on the match schedules around here. I joined Panola County and I'm looking forward to the monthly matches. From what I've gathered, I'm prepared to be humbled!

Many thanks!
